Abstract excerpt
The T76 mutation in the pfcrt gene has been linked to chloroquine (CQ) resistance in Plasmodium falciparum. PCR-based analysis of pfcrt alleles was performed on pre-treatment samples from 107 individuals who had P. falciparum infections and lived in Papua, Indonesia. The results of a 28-day, in-vivo test revealed clinical resistance to CQ in 79 (74%) of the samples. The crude sensitivity of the pfcrt T76 assay...
